Yikes, I've got an X-ray that looks just like that. In my experience from broken collar bones is keep good posture and your shoulders rolled back as much as possible. I didnt and my collar bone reattached overlapping an inch or so. Now I'm lopsided and my shoulder blade hits my spine.

Also figure out a way to not roll over on that shoulder, after about a week I rolled over in my sleep and re broke it.

Hope you heal up soon. I went down in the Carousel during the previous session. I was more fortunate with only some aches and pains. My bike on the other hand didn't fair so well. I too would like to see some video if anyone has it. I passed a couple of riders exiting diamond's edge, and went into the Carousel too hot for my experience and ended up tumbling through the grass.
A bonehead move on my part, but at least no one else was involved. Sorry for the delay I caused by needing the crash truck.

very interesting. the doc gave me a bit of history and mentioned something about letting them heal naturally in the recent past.

I just want make sure I keep my golf swing!

My doc said it was too risky with all the nerves and veins there and I wouldn't lose any mobility by letting it heal naturally. I lost very little mobility and am lopsided from letting heal naturally. Surgery probably isn't a bad idea.

Corrective surgery? That's not standard protocol by any means. The ER nor Ortho ever sent a patient with new buckling fracture (that looked as clean a break as it comes, as I can see on my phone) to corrective surgery. I am by no means the authority on this, and it's called the practice of medicine for a reason. What exactly did he say he would be doing in there to re-fix clavicle fracture?

I've had this injury in the past and I have work in hospitals for 10 years (military and civilian). Just trying to understand

Funny you mention that. After having my collar bone and shoulder socket plated after a TWS (Texas World Speedway) T1 crash in '04, my golf coach took one look at my "new" swing and said "Um, yah, I can't do anything with that."

Hey Stache, glad to see your getting fixed up, I was really bummed out that you wrecked on Sunday. You were riding very well up to the point.

I have your video from that session, I didn't get the wreck as I only had a forward facing GoPro. But If you want your video from before the mishap I have it and can publish it on Youtube. Send me a PM, and let me know if you want me to do that.
